HillaryClintonhasnt made any comments on the Republican Partys effort to repeal Obamacare. The closest thing she has said on the topic isatweetasking her followers to read a book on healthcare that her daughter Chelseawrote with the chair of Public Health at the University of Edinburgh Medical School. Despite being completely absent during Democrats fight to keep Obamacare intact, Hillary Clinton tweeted out a statement and a series of crafted anecdotes to capitalize on the Republican Party failing to pass their healthcare billon March 24.

Today was a victory for all Americans,Clintonsaid in the statement, citing the healthcare rallies and town hall meetings that mobilized opposition to the Republican Partys efforts, which she participate in. The fight isnt over yetwe will have to push back on future bad ideas and embrace good ones to make healthcare more affordable. However, Clintondidnt push back on Obamacare repeal efforts until a victory emerged that she could align herself with.

Clinton concluded her series of tweet series saying, Lets not be distracted. Lets continue to stand up, organize, resist, put forth good ideas to improve the existing system & peoples lives.Clintonfailed to put forth good ideas to improve peoples lives during her campaign; instead she focused on manufacturing outrage toward DonaldTrump. She tells her supporters not to be distracted, yet her and her staffers have focusedon Russian election interference allegations over discussing good policy.

Despiteonce supportingsingle-payer healthcare andpollsshowing that most Americans support replacing Obamacare with a single-payer healthcare system, Clintonclaimedduring the campaign, It will never, ever happen. Meanwhile, Chelsea Clintonovertly liedabout Sen.Bernie Sandershealthcare plan ata campaign event, claiming that Sanderswould empower Republican governors to take away Medicaid.

Clintons current criticism of a single-payer healthcare system is symptomatic of theDemocratic Partysoverall politics, which have shifted to a centrist, more pragmatic positionone that happens to cater to the health insurance and pharmaceutical industry. SeveralDemocrats, including Sen. Ted Kennedy,have previously arguedthat a single-payer healthcare system would be the best solution.

As she attempts to portray her brand of politics as successful,Clintonnever fails to miss an opportunity to exploit any semblance of victorydespite often having no role in the fight.In line with this trend, Clinton triedto steal credit from Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Sen. Bernie Sanders in their announcement ofplans to try to bring free public college tuition to New York, though her campaign strongly pushed back on Sanders supporters fromincludingit in theDemocratic Partysplatform.

Similarly, when Trumps Muslim travel ban was knocked down by a federal court,Clintonand her campaign stafferstried to alignherwith the victory, despite herrecord on contributing to perpetual unrest in the Middle East, propagating Islamophobic views in The War on Terror, and allyingherself with powerful figures that have overtly spread Islamophobia.

Hillary Clintondoesnt fight for policies that benefit working, middle class and low income Americans. If she did, she would haveengaged with communities that were hurting across the United Statesas former President BarackObamadid in 2008 and 2012 and asSandersis currently doingand she would likely be president instead of Trump. Instead of learning this valuable lesson, theDemocratic Partyhas maintained its out-of-touch leadership and billionaire donors, while blaming the partys election loss on a variety of scapegoats.
